Storm totals: January 23rd-24th, 2012

By John C. Toman. Posted January 24, 2012, 11:19 AM.

The second storm in the past week was much like the first, dropping between a tenth and 0.64" of rain in Southern California's inland valleys.

Light rain began falling early Monday morning, and sporadic light to moderate rainfall continued through much of the day Monday, with some showers trailing off into Tuesday morning.

Leading the way this time was De Luz, with 0.64". Wildomar was next, with 0.54", followed by Lake Elsinore (0.43"), Beaumont (0.41"), and Fallbrook (0.40").

On the dry side were French Valley (0.13"), Perris (0.10"), Hemet (0.09") and Menifee (0.09").

Offshore winds picked up Tuesday morning in the wake of the storm, and a warming trend is predicted for the rest of the work week. As the jet stream returns to the north, the next winter storm is at least a week away or more.
